Environment

BRAC’s Disaster, Environment & Climate Change (DECC) Programme was created in 2008 as a result of the Cyclone Sidr, which hit Bangladesh in November 2007. Traditionally, we had been responding to natural disasters in a reactive way. Sidr made us realise that this traditional method of response is inadequate in most circumstances, and climate change would potentially worsen the situation as the frequency and severity of these occurrences increases.
